2021 Nissan Kicks Top Upgrades and Features

Posted on June 19, 2021

The Kicks is Nissan's smallest crossover, but it received a big update for the 2021 model year. The styling update improved the Kicks both inside and out with new standard technology, updated designs, and more connectivity options for drivers. The Kicks is one of Nissan's newest models, but in an effort to modernize the brand, even the relatively new Kicks received upgrades to stay competitive in a highly competitive market.

 

Value-Packed Upgrades

 

The 2021 Nissan Kicks is a value-packed SUV aimed at a younger crowd, and Nissan took the opportunity with the 2021 redesign to appeal more to them with new technology upgrades. The Kicks now features a standard 7.0-inch touchscreen display, as well as a newly available 8.0-inch screen for an additional cost or found standard on higher-end models. Nissan also added Apple CarPlay and Android Auto standards on all trim levels for the 2021 model. Upper trim levels of the 2021 Nissan Kicks also receive a new USB Type-C port, which transmits power to and data from a connected device. The top-level trims also offer the option of the Wi-Fi hotspot.

 

The exterior of the 2021 Nissan Kicks received several upgrades to make it bolder and more imposing. The double V-motion grille gives the Kicks a more SUV-like aesthetic, and the exterior was also improved with LED lighting and a new rear bumper. There are several new colour options, which can be used to create a stunning contrast between the body and the roof. Inside, the Kicks becomes more functional thanks to a redesigned centre console, as well as upgraded dashboard air vents and front-seat armrest. This user-friendly interior offers impressive passenger and cargo space, easily fitting adults in the rear seat and luggage in the rear.

 

More Standard Safety

 

To bring the Kicks up to the same level as the remainder of Nissan's lineup, it received the standard Safety Shield 360 suite of driver-assist technologies. All Kicks models now feature lane departure warning, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, rear cross-traffic alert, blind-spot warning, high beam assist, and rear automatic braking. Other safety features are also available on the Kicks when they were not previously, including Intelligent Cruise Control, an electronic parking brake, and rear disk brakes.

 

Affordable and Packed with New Stuff!

 

Nissan really improved the 2021 Kicks with its stylish redesign and added technology and safety features. Starting at just $19,898, it is a value-packed vehicle, offering standard driver-assist features not found on similarly priced, or even higher-priced, models in the same class. The 2021 Nissan Kicks is offered in four model varieties in Kanata and across Canada: S, SV, SR, and SR Premium. A carefully curated inventory can be found at Myers Kanata Nissan for drivers wanting to test drive and purchase this fun, fast, and fantastic small SUV. Its low price and standard features rival those of its competition, including the Hyundai Kona, Kia Soul, and Mazda CX-30.
